4 Ways To Really Impress Guests To Your Home

Your home is your haven, and you probably put a lot of time into making it as beautiful and comfortable as possible. We spend so much time in our homes that we become accustomed to every inch, creaky floorboards and lopsided photo frames included. But when you have guests coming to stay, you might be looking around and wondering what they will think. Welcoming guests is always exciting, but if you want to impress them, here are a few things you can try.

Creating a welcoming atmosphere

A lovely way to make your guests feel at home is to make your living spaces as homely and cozy as possible. Of course, it’s essential to clean and tidy up before guests arrive. But little touches like scented candles and seasonal decorations can go a long way to making your guests feel at home. Lighting can play an important role too. If it’s winter, lighting a fire is possibly the most welcoming thing you could do. No matter the season or time of day, a welcome drink and snacks set a lovely welcoming atmosphere, especially if your visitors have travelled far.

Thoughtful touches

Nothing says ‘welcome’ like some thoughtful touches. You can make your guests feel special by providing warm, fluffy socks or comfortable dressing gowns they can wear in the morning to keep them snug. Little things, like leaving some fluffy, fresh towels on their bed, will make them feel right at home. If they are using a guest bathroom, make sure it’s well stocked with all of the essentials and be sure to give it a clean if it hasn’t been used in a while.

Delicious food and drink

A lot of the worry around hosting guests stems from food and drink. How will you prepare something delicious that everyone will enjoy? Find some recipes that are a little out of the ordinary and bound to impress. It doesn’t have to be anything particularly fancy or expensive, but just something that feels like you’ve made a special effort.

If it’s a recipe you’ve never tried before, you might want to make it once a week before your guests arrive to make sure you can pull it off, since there’s nothing more disappointing than when your hard work results in something you’re not proud of.

Entertainment

You can make your house extra welcoming for your guests by playing music. You could use a playlist or encourage your visitors to pick their favorite songs. What entertainment you enjoy together depends on who your guests are. But board games or trivia is always a great option, particularly if the game involves something lively like singing or acting out. Movies always go down well, too. A home theater installation company can create a mini cinema in the comfort of your own home so you can gather around a big screen together. If your guests are visiting from out of town, it would also be great to think of interesting places you could visit together, to make them feel right at home in your area.
